He slips between the satin sheets of his bed, staring at the star-spangled sky through his window, before the night dies under the caustic touch of the sun. He slumbers in his luxurious chamber, still full and content with the mortal blood he has sacrificed for his delight.
Just a few rooms away, and oddly close to him, a newborn vampire maiden with ivory skin and hair darker than the color of the nigh sky lies on her bed. His beautiful protégé, favored among the vampires is tormented by nightmares, of the howls of raging carnivorous beasts that Viktor himself planted in her mind. They haunt her dreams, her heart still weeps with sorrow, which her soul will soon remedy and ask for revenge.
A willing marionette she shall become, a cynical replica of a, once, fair young princess. She will fight his war, she will bleed for his cause and she will even die defending his ideals. Slowly he will drip his poison in her frightened eager mind; she will believe all that he says and never question his words. And he will look upon her with paternal eyes in return. A virginal daughter she shall become for him, reviving Sonja's dear image. The one his daughter shattered as her body welcomed the lycan seed and deformed her belly with his heretic offspring.
But Selene will remain untouched by all men; nobody will take her away from him. Her grin will soften the memory of his daughter's treason; her eyes will search for him like a father. And he shall call her his child and guide her. A mortal's breed she may have been, but he has given birth to an immortal being, leaving her flawed existence behind. Her dark father he has become and she shall live into the night of her new eternal life because of him, close to him.
He beams into the darkness, casting his cold blue eyes at the moon, smiling back at the goddess of the dark sky, only the window's crystal separates him from the night; The moon's harmless incandescent light reminds him of Selene's face, her tears are becoming stars in the dark night of her soul and Viktor is content.
And he whispers her name.
"Welcome into my arms. You shall fulfill all my dreams, dear daughter."
"And this time I shall not fail."
